Jenna's Fave Healthy Meals

When you're out and need a quick meal, I know it can be tempting to go to the closest fast food joint, but virtually every town has a couple health places that are just as quick and even more satisfying. The key is knowing where they are and what they offer so you think of them when you're in a pinch!

One of my favorite quick meals is from Cafe Gratitude, my go-to place in LA to hit up for a nutritious bite. I love their "I Am Grateful" dish, because I'm getting a little of everything: kale, avocado, a yummy sauce and a grain. It's delish and simple enough to make at home yourself! Another one of my favorite health food spots in LA is Real Food Daily. I love their spicy BLT wraps because they use tempeh, lettuce, tomato and avocado in a spinach wrap instead of fattening mayo and bacon. It still tastes like a classic BLT wrap, but is lots healthier.

When it comes to making my own healthy meal, I head to Whole Foods and load up on fresh veggies. I'll go home and make a big salad with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, almonds, and a little mozzarella cheese. I also love cooking grilled salmon, drizzled with lemon juice and balsamic vinaigrette.

For dessert, I only give in when I really crave something sweet and then I go all out. I'll eat well the rest of the day and then treat myself to cookies and ice-cream — and not the healthy kind! I'm not a big dessert girl, but when I want a sweet treat, I go big or go home!
